Chapter 287: The most embarrassing in history

June 26, 1997
Madison Gardens is particularly lively tonight, where the 1997 NBA Draft was held.
A group of young talents will soon enter the alliance.
Mo Mengchen also came to the scene. Since he participated in the draft two years ago, he has never been to the scene of the draft conference.
It is not alone today.
"It's strange to see a group of future millionaires being delisted."
Noah Sivers sat nervously beside Mo Mengchen.
"What's strange?" Mo Mengchen didn't feel strange.
Sivers looked around: "Is Michael Jordan here?"
"Not here."
"What about the magician?"
are you kidding me?
"Why are not you talking?"
Mo Mengchen said angrily, "Can you not pretend to understand?"
"You must bring me here."
"I was wrong, how about sending you out now?"
Sivers just got back, and David Stern stood in front of the stage.
"1997 NBA Draft..."
History is about to change.
This scene is doomed, but the moment when the established history was changed happened before Mo Mengchen's eyes, which still surprised him.
The Boston Celtics made the choice calmly.
"The Boston Celtics chose Tim Duncan with the first pick, from Wake Forest University!"
Duncan in a beige suit smiled shyly and stood up; then, the live broadcast turned the camera to the Green Army coach Rick Pitino who made the decision-he was wearing a red t-shirt and his face was stretched He was not excited at all about the decisions that cats and dogs could make, and he smiled awkwardly when he saw the camera was facing him.
The following words are printed at the bottom of the big screen:
1997 champion Tim Duncan.
No. 21 player at Wake Forest University.
2.11 meters, 113 kg.
Advantages: outstanding inside technology, comprehensive players.
Disadvantages: free throws.
For such a good player, free throws are just a small flaw, and the Greens happily accepted this fact.
Of course they did not know that the pulse of the times had begun to beat quietly.
Cheers and boos appeared at the same time, and most of these boos were used by those teams that failed to get Duncan to express regret.
As early as the end of the lottery, basketball fans all over the world knew that Duncan was about to play for the Celtics.
At the moment it just made this matter a reality.
Duncan shook hands with Stern and hugged. The big man didn't find someone not far away looking at him up and down.
He also didn't know how many times they would fight in the future and what kind of stories would be left in history.
But the invisible wheel of fortune has turned.
"Is he great?"
Even if Sivers didn't understand anymore, when he saw Mo Mengchen's serious face, he knew that it was a terrible opponent.
Mo Mengchen replied: "A bit powerful."
"How powerful is that?" Sivers continued to ask.
Mo Mengchen said: "You think he is as powerful as he is."
Then came the second pick.
Without Duncan, Van Horn was the only option for Magic.
Penny spent a season to heal, the team also took the opportunity to lucky draw the second overall, but unfortunately not Duncan, which is destined to make them feel full of regret.
The 76ers in need of a third pick in need of a big man saw that both Duncan and Van Horn were famous, and they could only take risks to take Tony Batty.
When this name appeared, there were no memory points in Mo Mengchen's mind.
It can also be concluded that the 76ers have become good guys and helped other teams to arrange a bomb. After a hard year, they chose a full parallel.
This spirit is commendable.
Unable to find the target, the Grizzlies who gave up treatment chose Ron Messer with the fourth pick.
This is an apprentice of Rick Pitino, Ron Messer from the University of Kentucky.
From a young basketball genius, Garnett and Marbury were shoulder to shoulder in high school, and he followed Kentucky to win the NCAA championship. After his sophomore year, he announced his candidacy.
He is an excellent empty-handed player with good physical fitness, but he has not developed his shooting ability, nor is there any scouts optimistic that he can develop projection in the future
Presumably this choice by the Grizzlies will make the Celtics excited to make a fist.
After winning Duncan, they have to use another lottery pick to select a guard with star potential. Billups is undoubtedly the best choice for this position.
The Celtics chose Billups to make Momon relieved.
If they were bold, they would gamble on McGrady.
In the first draft, using two draft picks to win Duncan and McGrady at the same time... that Mo Mengchen would have a headache.
The Pistons had little drama to sing in this draft. They gave Bobby Jackson the 19th overall pick in the first round, and they were still planning a deal together.
The deal was also related to the players in the middle and back positions of the first round, Osgers is a determined young man.
He hopes his team is full of vitality, so the more young people there are, the better.
In his words: "Aren't you going to run and run? Isn't it better to run as far as possible? The old man can't run at all. I'll find some young people for you. You can run hard!"
He said that the veteran of the team was worried, but only Barkley traveled to Miami for a holiday. It is said that he was waiting for every day to eat and drink, and his weight had exceeded 132 kg.
To know that at the end of the season, his weight stabilized at 124 kilograms, which took more than a month, he eats himself like a veteran facing retirement.
Then, the biggest accident tonight appeared.
The Golden State Warriors with the eighth pick, chose McGrady!
When Stern made the news public, Mo Mengchen, like Isaiah Thomas at the far end, was completely in shock.
Tracy McGrady is well known in Orlando, but unhappy outside the court. He was very lazy, or absent from class or late, and was removed from the basketball team because he hit the teacher in the class. This made him fall out of the scout's horizon before he fully emerged.
His talent made Jerry Krauss overjoyed. The fat man who created the Bulls dynasty negotiated with the Grizzlies in private and exchanged their No. 4 pick for Pippen with a hidden injury to get McGrady.
Jordan, who learned of the matter, said directly: "If you dare to do this, I will retire." This ended the beautiful if.
After a long time, Tracy McGrady will still feel a trace of regret.
Choosing high school students requires a certain amount of courage. Although the smiling assassin has done a terrible job in terms of trading and coaching, he does have a pair of bright eyes that can distinguish talents. This is the biggest difference between him and his rival, Jordan.
Unfortunately, things seem to have changed unexpectedly.
The Warriors did not know what the reason was and chose McGrady.
"You seem surprised?" Sivers asked.
Mo Mengchen said: "Yes, there was an accident."
This is a good thing. McGrady went to the west, and nothing is better.
What if McGrady was selected by the Raptors like we know history?
Carter may also join the Raptors, and will still squeeze McGrady's development space, after which McGrady can only go out and join the Magic with pennies.
Then... Pinnacles teamed up with pennies without injuries?
God, this combination is as thrilling as Penny + Duncan.
So McGrady should go west.
At this point, the players that Mo Mengchen cares about are basically famous.
There are not many relics of level 97, the next step is the piston's own choice.
No accident, until the 19th pick, when the Pistons' turn was selected, Bobby Jackson was still sitting quietly in that position waiting for his Prince Charming to take him away.
"1997 NBA Draft,"
"The Detroit Pistons chose Bobby Jackson with the 19th pick, from the University of Minnesota!"
Jackson exhaled for a long time, and the Pistons fulfilled his promise. Sure enough, he took him back to the Motor City in this position.
After the election, Jackson kissed his girlfriend next to him, then hugged his family, and finally took the stage to accept the president's congratulations.
"Are you satisfied with this result?" Sivers knew that as soon as the result came out, it would be meaningless for them to stay here.
"Very satisfactory." Mo Mengchen stood up from his position and said, "Let's go."
In the afternoon, Mo Mengchen was practicing his speech in the hotel room, and he was going to give a speech at the Surgery Summit in a few days.
Just like dreaming, this is something that only he in the previous life would care about, and now he has to do it.
For attribute points.
Now he has an attribute score of 73,000.
He had never brought so many attribute points, and he didn't know if he would use them.
This is the psychology of the Scrooge.
I originally wanted to save it to 30,000, and then suddenly got a skyfall, and I wanted to save more. There are deposits. All the deposits are 70,000 and I want to save them.
"100,000! It will be used immediately upon reaching this number."
Mo Mengchen made a decision.
At this point, the draft conference has ended, the selection of the teams, and subsequent transactions have also occurred.
Tracy McGrady failed to report to Golden State because the Warriors traded him to Sacramento after selecting him.
It’s embarrassing that when McGrady was being interviewed at that time, when it came to being selected by the Warriors, he said: "Later Sprewell is a great player. I just have to think of myself to fight alongside him. Very excited."
So, the reporter informed: "But you have been traded to the Kings."
McGrady's sleepy eyes opened before he didn't expect this league to be so cruel, he was traded before he could show his talent?
It doesn't matter, he also knows the Kings.
Since the league is so realistic, he also has to be a little more realistic, so he changed his mouth and said: "Oh, is it? This is business, I can understand that Sacramento is also a very good team, I did everything to prepare ~www .EbookFREE.me~ Mitch Richmond is one of my favorite players and I will learn a lot from him..."
The reporter is simply sad, this is the most embarrassing rookie interview in the past decade.
The childish McGrady did not expect that in order to get him, the Kings took out Richmond and made such a deal with the Warriors: The King will take them with the 11th show Danny Fordson who has just picked them and has not covered the hot Richmond, the only All-Star player on the team, traded to the Warriors in exchange for McGrady and the Warriors' first-round draft pick next year.
Tracy McGrady, who had learned the truth, did not tear down.
He smiled and thought: So, I am the cornerstone of the Kings?
Thinking of this, the dead fish, who never seemed to be wide open, looked energetic.
No one knows what this deal has changed. The Kings just want to rebuild. They don’t expect this high school student to lead them to rise.
Sometimes, good luck is always unsolicited.
